1. [+600, -98] She's pretty and has potential but I feel like the praise about her looks are blown out of proportion ㅋㅋ
2. [+473, -134] She's starting to take a turn for the worse...
3. [+387, -91] Slowly being forgotten
4. [+20, -11] I noticed that it's mostly women who call Jun Somi pretty. She looks a bit too strong for men to like, I'v never seen one man around me think she's pretty
5. [+16, -10] Pretty!
6. [+15, -6] She's looking more like Ida Daussy
7. [+15, -6] Maybe because she's a foreigner but... I can already see traces of her looks taking a turn for the worse
8. [+13, -8] I'll be frank, she looks old. She doesn't look like a 2001er but an 87er
9. [+10, -5] She looks exactly like Ida Daushi, no more or less. She's going to look worse as she gets older. She's already used up her image and her popularity isn't what it used to be after her drinking scandal.

Jeon Somi replied to a malicious comment.
Recently, a netizen left a comment on Jeon So Mi's Instagram regarding her departure from JYP Entertainment. The comment stated, "Do you know somi? You are too young to disrespect jyp and do you know too? We are glad that you didn't become a member of TWICE because of your attitude."
Jeon So Mi boldly fired back at the comment and said, "your [sic] too young to say bad things to me. Do I know you? I don't think so."
In August, Jeon So Mi left JYP Entertainment, where she has been training for years and it was recently confirmed she has signed with YG Entertainment's The Black Label.

YG's almost considered the top when it comes to coordi, hair, makeup and goods' teams. Just looking at Black Pink, you can see that they have the best styling out of all the girl groups. When they wear short outfits like groups from other companies, they look much trendier. I feel like Somi will fit well. There will definitely be a day where Somi will be going to luxury brand events and be invited to fashion shows

Article: Jun Somi reveals updates since termination with JYP... "clear visuals"Source: Herald POP via Nate
1. [+290, -24] Guess there's nothing to worry about ㅋㅋㅋ she's doing just fine at her age, dressed in luxury and all ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+205, -43] She looks like a well dressed auntie in her forties
3. [+163, -15] Cyworld style selcas
4. [+30, -1] She wanted to show off the Chanel
5. [+24, -4] Considering that Park Jin Young put a pass on Hyuna and Goo Hara, there's probably something with Jun Somi too..
6. [+21, -2] Seems about right that she was kicked out
7. [+14, -2] Is she competitive on her own? Without an agency? I read somewhere that her father was setting up his own agency... which sounds ridiculous. How can you set up an entire agency around a trainee with no industry experience? And her father has no experience on top of that either...
8. [+12, -3] Speaking coldly, Jun Somi is not an exceptional singer, nor is she a great dancer, nor does she have acting potential. She's pretty but she doesn't have that cute look that idols have, and she's not talented in writing or composing songs either. I'm not sure what concept she'd fit in as a girl group member. Overall, she seems like the type of trainee that you don't know what to do with in the end.
9. [+12, -1] Should've debuted way earlier than this. It's too late for her now.
10. [+10, -4] Honestly... both her skills and her looks are... below par... There's nothing special about her looks if you take out her exoticness...

Matthew Douma recently talked about appearing in “Real Men 300” and his daughter Jeon Somi.
On September 18, a press conference was held for the new MBC variety program “Real Men 300” at MBC Golden Mouth Hall in Seoul. Producing directors (PD) Choi Min Geun and Jang Seung Min, along with cast members Kang Ji Hwan, Matthew Douma, PENTAGON’s Hongseok, Kim Jae Hwa, Lee Yoo Bi, and Shinji were in attendance. In this season of “Real Men,” the cast members will undergo various tests and evaluations in order to become part of the elite “300 warriors” of the army.
During the event, Matthew Douma talked about appearing in a variety show for the first time, stating, “This was a new challenge in my life. Before I left, I did a lot of exercise preparations, but of course, it wasn’t enough. I had the hardest time during the guerrilla training. After training with my colleagues, I was pleased that we were able to make it to the end. Rather than experiencing military life, I was able to see the limits of my physical health.”
He also cheered on his daughter Jeon Somi and stated, “[Jeon Somi] told me to not be the first one to come out of the CBR [chemical, biological, radiological] room, and said that she believed in me, her dad.”
When asked about Jeon Somi’s future plans, he said, “Somi’s activities are Somi’s concerns. They are completely separate from me. The [reports] that I am Somi’s manager are false rumors.”
He continued, “Somi finished her last JYP activities and returned from Germany. We’re going to spend this Chuseok together with the family and think about what she will do from now on. I do give her advice as a parent, but because I’m not an expert, I can’t do much.”
Jeon Somi had previously terminated her exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment in August.
“Real Men 300” will premiere on September 21 at 9:55 p.m. KST.

Article: [Exclusive] Jeon Somi after 'leaving JYP', setting out on her own with her fatherSource: Ilgan Sports via Nate1. [+1,200, -110] It's obvious she left because they weren't debuting her, why are you all so curious for more?
2. [+913, -264] She's as popular as she is now because of the JYP premium
3. [+780, -151] Maybe her father couldn't stand to see her suffer any injustices anymore
4. [+78, -10] I always thought Somi and Sejung would be the most popular out of IOI but it ended up being Chungha..
5. [+77, -18] Park Jin Young obviously knew that it would hurt his image too if he threw out Somi but he did it anyway because there must've been something that happened to cause it. I think Somi's too young to say that she really left because JYP wasn't debuting her.
6. [+56, -10] This will just leave her career up in the air. She's not good enough to go solo on her own and she has no potential as an actress. She'll just get older and older before she ends up a BJ or YouTuber sooner or later.
7. [+52, -20] Maybe she didn't want to end up like G-Soul or Im Jung Hee... Everyone thought Jay Park was kicked out over something but look at all the glowing things people around him have to say about him..
8. [+50, -4] JYP aren't idiots;; they're experts at making girl groups and for them to not debut Jeon Somi means that there was a reason~~
9. [+43, -4] According to rumors, there was a competition within JYP with their boy group and girl group that would determine who got to debut next and she lost which made her leave. If I were her father, I'd want her to quit too after all the abuse they put her through ㅠㅠ It's amazing to think of the patience that Nayeon and Jihyo's parents had to wait for so long for their daughters to debut and eventually become the ace members of Twice.
10. [+40, -4] Jeon Somi's father is quite the noisy type. He goes around Yeonhee-dong on his motorcycle and gets into fights with other people. He'll even weave in and out of people by the crosswalk and put them in dangerous situations. I've witnessed him get into verbal fights with other people multiple times. He doesn't seem that stable.
11. [+40, -8] A lot of the trainees who were eliminated from 'Sixteen' left JYP... Jeon Somi just left a little later than them. I don't think there was necessarily an issue between her and JYP..
12. [+39, -4] She honestly used up all her image. There are also a lot more exotic faces now compared to then so she's not as rare or anything anymore. And that drinking scandal just ended everything for her. Timing is everything, tsk tsk.

1. [+619, -52] I want to know the real reason her contract was terminated, not made up imaginations by others. Either way, I hope it was the best decision for both Jun Somi and JYP in the end.
2. [+813, -348] I feel like she was fired as opposed to voluntarily leaving. Because of her drinking scandal ㅋ
3. [+604, -197] I don't know... Ever since I saw her deny her drinking pictures... my positive image of her went down.
4. [+63, -27] Wasn't she kicked out
5. [+52, -21] Call your unnis for a round of drinks
6. [+43, -14] Somi-ya, always make sure to check if there are soju bottles behind you before you take pictures
7. [+41, -27] Yeah, there's no reason to stay if they're not giving you opportunities. Who cares if they're a big agency if they're not giving you any opportunities.
8. [+33, -7] Whether the drinking pictures were true or not, you have to admit that it damaged her image. JYP has no problem throwing out artists they've invested a lot into like JOO or Jay Park or Hyuna. There's no way JYP would've let that go even if she won #1 in her audition.
9. [+29, -13] But honestly, everyone who got cut from JYP like Hyuna or Jay Park or Lee Kikwang all ended up doing really well
10. [+26, -6] She doesn't have the face of a 01er. She definitely looks older than her age in her profile picture ㅋㅋ

Even when the promotions with IOI were ambiguous, he acknowledged her as an artist of the company and gave her a contract, he gave her advertisements, and pushed her on variety shows too. He literally gave her everything a company could give, Jun Somi's fans know nothing if they think that the company didn't give her anything, you guys should be grateful

Fans discovered that one macaron store located near the new JYP building recently thanked Jeon So Mi for visiting and leaving an autograph.The macaron store 'Dear My' shared a photo of Jeon So Mi's autograph via its official SNS and stated, "IOI's Jeon So Mi-nim visited 'Dear My' today!!! Daebak daebak. She was 'Very Very Very' pretty hehe. She even left an autograph; thank you! Thank you all So Mi-nim, Yeji-nim, and Chaeryung-nim, for visiting. We want... to see you often... hehe."Seeing the post, netizens suspected that Jeon So Mi visited the macaron store in the middle of practice with her fellow trainees Yeji and Chaeryung - further adding fuel to the rumors that Jeon So Mi's new girl group indeed includes Yeji and Chaeryung.
Back in July, rumors of JYPE's new girl group being 5-members became heated after the 5 in question - Jeon So Mi, Shin Ryu Jin, Lee Chaeryung, Hwang Yeji, and Choi Jisoo - were spotted attending TWICE's concert. Some netizens said, "The new girl group members went together", "Oohh are they getting ready to debut soon", "Chaeryung, Yeji, Somi, if you guys debut, I'll buy you a box of macarons", "'Dear My'..??? That place is so good!", and more.Chaeryung, known for her appearance on 'Sixteen', was born in 2001. She is also the younger sister of 'Produce 48's Lee Chae Yeon.
Hwang Yeji was first seen on 'Stray Kids' and was born in 2000.
